13  But he is unchangeable,¹ and ^gwho can turn him back?

What he ^hdesires, that he does.

2  “I know that you can ^hdo all things,

and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted.

8  Let all the earth fear the Lord;

let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him!

9  For ^uhe spoke, and it came to be;

he commanded, and it stood firm.

10  The Lord ^vbrings the counsel of the nations to nothing;

he frustrates the plans of the peoples.

11  ^wThe counsel of the Lord stands forever,

the plans of his heart to all generations.

19  The Lord has ^cestablished his throne in the heavens,

and his ^dkingdom rules over all.

3  ^dOur God is in the heavens;

^ehe does all that he pleases.

5  For I know that ^bthe Lord is great,

and that our Lord is above all gods.

6  ^cWhatever the Lord pleases, he does,

in heaven and on earth,

in the seas and all deeps.

7  ^dHe it is who makes the clouds rise at the end of the earth,

who ^emakes lightnings for the rain

and brings forth the wind from his ^fstorehouses.

24  The Lord of hosts has sworn:

^q“As I have planned,

so shall it be,

and as I have purposed,

so shall it stand,

27  ^uFor the Lord of hosts has purposed,

and who will annul it?

^tHis hand is stretched out,

and who will turn it back?

13  Also ^dhenceforth I am he;

there is none who can deliver from my hand;

I work, and who can turn it back?”

9  remember the former things of old;

for I am God, and there is no other;

I am God, and there is none like me,

10  ^ydeclaring the end from the beginning

and from ancient times things not yet done,

saying, ^z‘My counsel shall stand,

and I will accomplish all my purpose,’

11  ^acalling a bird of prey from the east,

the man of my counsel from a far country.

^bI have spoken, and I will bring it to pass;

I have purposed, and I will do it.

^qfor his dominion is an everlasting dominion,

and ^qhis kingdom endures from generation to generation;

35  ^rall the inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing,

and ^she does according to his will among the host of heaven

and among the inhabitants of the earth;

^tand none can stay his hand

or ^usay to him, “What have you done?”
